AT reference number help?
Can someone provide the reference for the AT 41.5mm 8500 with brushed bracelet? I'm not a fan of the PCLs on the newer version bracelet.Also, is the version I am asking about still available at ADs?

Vintage Duo
Took some shots of some recently acquired vintage Omegas and thought I would share.The Constellation is circa 1966 and was a gift from my father to my uncle many years ago. My uncle is ninety now and wanted my father to have it back. It was serviced some years ago and unfortunately the crown was replaced and fitted with one that doesn't exactly match the original. Would have been nice to have the original, but it's not that big an issue.The De Ville is circa 1971 and has given to my father from a friend who has no appreciation for watches and had it sitting in a box for years.Both are working and keeping fantastic time, but will be sent in for service sometime in the near future. They were in pretty rough shape when we got them and I definitely put in some time to make them look decent. The straps are new and I've wearing the De Ville regularly for the past few weeks.

Need advice on choosing my first Patek - 5146g
Hi All,My first post in this forum. I have been looking around for the next piece in my collection and have decided to go for my first Patek. I have decided on the AC 5146g and wanted to get everyone's advice on color, movement and deployant buckle. Firstly, my current collection includes a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony in white gold (ref. 81180/000G-9117), Rolex GMT Master II (ref. 16710), '68 Omega Speedmaster Professional (pre-moon transitional), Panerai PAM 328 (Luminor Marina 1950 3-day automatic). I will most likely sell the PAM as I have recently bought the Speedy and want to give it and the GMT II a little more wrist time. I also find that the PAM is really just too big and heavy on my wrist. So, I have a few questions regarding the 5146g. Firstly, color. I definitely want white gold but am trying to decide between the ivory and the slate grey. I have seen a lot of pictures online and have seen both watches in person. The wife likes the grey but in the dealer's shop, I

First Panerai, dilemma...
I have been thinking of getting a Panerai for a while now and I hope to pull the trigger before christmas. I want a base model with only hour and minute hands, preferably titanium but steel is also fine. I also want a sandwich dial and max 44mm, this is the problem. I have looked into the 560 and 562, only the Q series has a sandwich dial. I have looked at used 176, 112 and 000s too. My options so far: I have looked into getting a new 562 from Jomashop with a sandwich dial(they claim the one they have for sale has it). The used 176:es I have look at so far were too expensive or too polished. I started noticing that polishing can not be unseen when you spot it and I think I need an unworn/unpolished specimen. Questions: Have I missed a model that looks like the ones above(max budget about 5k USD, the 172 is out...)?I don't mind buying it from the US, they are so cheap there that the 25-30% customs + VAT still makes it worth it. But how reliable is Jomashop, can I trust them that they di
